Definitions

  • the present invention relates to collapsible prosthetic heart valves, and more particularly, to prosthetic heart valves having commissure attachment features that reduce strain on the leaflets of the prosthetic valve and methods of manufacturing the commissure attachment features.
  • Prosthetic heart valves that are collapsible to a relatively small circumferential size can be delivered into a patient less invasively than valves that are not collapsible.
  • a collapsible valve may be delivered into a patient via a tube-like delivery apparatus such as a catheter, a trocar, a laparoscopic instrument, or the like. This collapsibility can avoid the need for a more invasive procedure such as full open-chest, open-heart surgery.
  • Collapsible prosthetic heart valves typically take the form of a valve structure mounted on a stent.
  • a stent There are two types of stents on which the valve structures are ordinarily mounted: a self expanding stent and a balloon-expandable stent.
  • a self expanding stent To place such valves into a delivery apparatus and ultimately into a patient, the valve must first be collapsed to reduce its circumferential size.
  • the prosthetic valve When a collapsed prosthetic valve has reached the desired implant site in the patient (e.g., at or near the annulus of the patient's heart valve that is to be repaired by the prosthetic valve), the prosthetic valve can be deployed or released from the delivery apparatus and expanded to its full operating size.
  • the desired implant site in the patient e.g., at or near the annulus of the patient's heart valve that is to be repaired by the prosthetic valve
  • the prosthetic valve can be deployed or released from the delivery apparatus and expanded to its full operating size.
  • this generally involves releasing the entire valve, assuring its proper location and then expanding a balloon positioned within the valve stent.
  • the stent automatically expands as the stent is withdrawn from the delivery apparatus.
  • Prosthetic aortic heart valves prevent backflow from the aorta into the left ventricle during systole.
  • prosthetic heart valves have limited life expectancies for a variety of reasons. Thrombus buildup, for example, may prevent the prosthetic leaflets from properly coapting. Moreover, the prosthetic heart valve may be susceptible to failure at high stress regions, such as the leaflet commissure attachment feature, causing the prosthetic leaflets to tear and or the sutures that attach the prosthetic valve assembly to the stent to tear. [0008] Therefore, there is a need for improvements to the commissure attachment features of prosthetic heart valves that adequately secure the prosthetic leaflets to the stent in a manner that reduces the strain placed on the valve assembly without affecting the prosthetic heart valve’s ability to collapse.
  • a commissure attachment feature extends in a medial direction of a stent for coupling a valve assembly to the stent.
  • this attachment feature permits adjacent leaflets to be sutured to one another to improve blood washout of the neo-sinus of the prosthetic heart valve to prevent the formation of thrombus, and to redistribute strain from the commissure of the leaflets to the stent. Redistributing the strain in this manner reduces the likelihood that the prosthetic leaflets will tear.
  • One embodiment of the device includes a stent extending in a longitudinal direction and having a collapsed condition and an expanded condition.
  • the stent includes a plurality of stmts forming cells and a plurality of commissure attachment features spaced apart in an annular direction of the stent.
  • Each of the commissure attachment features is attached to select ones of the stmts and extends in a medial direction of the stent.
  • a valve assembly is secured to the plurality of commissure attachment features, the valve assembly including a cuff and a plurality of leaflets, each of the leaflets having a free edge and being capable of alternating between an open position and a closed position.
  • a method of manufacturing a prosthetic heart valve includes cutting a tubular material to form a stent, the stent extending in a longitudinal direction and having a collapsed condition and an expanded condition.
  • the stent includes a plurality of stmts forming cells and a plurality of commissure attachment features spaced apart in an annular direction of the stent.
  • the method further includes bending each of the commissure attachment features from a first orientation to a second orientation different from the first orientation, and coupling a valve assembly to the commissure attachment features, the valve assembly including a cuff and a plurality of leaflets, each of the leaflets having a free edge and being capable of alternating between an open position and a closed position.

  • FIG. 2 is a highly schematic cutaway view of the prosthetic heart valve of FIG. 1 disposed within the aortic valve annulus of patient;
  • FIG. 3 is a highly schematic top view of the prosthetic heart valve of FIG. 1 showing the commissure of adjacent leaflets sutured together;

  • FIG. 5 is a highly schematic cross-sectional view of the prosthetic heart valve of FIG. 4 showing a commissure attachment feature in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention

  • FIG. 7 is a highly schematic fragmentary view of the stent of the prosthetic heart valve of FIG. 4. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • proximal when used in connection with a prosthetic heart valve, refers to the end of the heart valve closest to the heart when the heart valve is implanted in a patient
  • distal when used in connection with a prosthetic heart valve, refers to the end of the heart valve farthest from the heart when the heart valve is implanted in a patient.
  • the terms “generally,” “substantially,” “approximately” and “about” are intended to mean that slight deviations from absolute are included within the scope of the term so modified.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a collapsible prosthetic heart valve 10 that is designed to replace the function of the native aortic valve of a patient.
  • Prosthetic heart valve 10 includes an expandable stent 12 which may be formed from biocompatible materials that are capable of self-expansion, for example, shape memory alloys such as nitinol.
  • Stent 12 extends from a proximal or annulus end 14 to a distal or aortic end 16, and includes an annulus section 18 adjacent the proximal end and an aortic section 20 adjacent the distal end.
  • Annulus section 18 has a relatively small cross-section in an expanded condition compared to aortic section 20 in the expanded condition.
  • Annulus section 18 maybe in the form of a cylinder having a substantially constant diameter along its length.
  • a transition section 22 tapers outwardly from annulus section 18 to aortic section 20.
  • Each of the sections of stent 12 includes a plurality of struts 24 which form a plurality of cells 26 that are connected to one another in one or more annular rows around the stent.
  • Annulus section 18 may have two annular rows of complete cells and aortic section 20 and transition section 22 may each have one or more annular rows of partial cells.
  • the cells in aortic section 20 may be larger than the cells in annulus section 18.
  • the larger cells in aortic section 20 facilitate positioning prosthetic valve 10 within the native aortic annulus such that stent 12 does not interfere with blood flow to the coronary arteries.
  • Stent 12 includes one or more retaining elements 28 at distal end 16.
  • Retaining elements 28 are sized to cooperate with a corresponding retaining structure on a delivery device. This cooperation minimizes axial movement of the prosthetic heart valve relative to the delivery device during unsheathing or resheathing procedures, and prevents rotation of the prosthetic heart valve relative to the delivery device as the delivery device is advanced to the target location and during deployment.
  • Stent 12 may also include a plurality of commissure attachment features 30 for attaching the commissure between two adjacent leaflets to the stent.
  • commissure attachments features 30 are disposed within the wall of stent 12 and may lie at the intersection of four cells 26, two of the cells being adjacent to one another in the same annular row, and the other two cells being in different annular rows and lying in end-to-end relationship.
  • Commissure attachment features 30 are preferably positioned entirely within annulus section 18, or at the juncture of the annulus section and transition section 22.
  • Commissure attachment features 30 may include one or more eyelets 32 which facilitate the suturing of the leaflet commissure to stent 12.
  • Prosthetic heart valve 10 also includes a valve assembly 34, which may be positioned entirely within annulus section 18 and secured to stent 12 by suturing the valve assembly to stmts 24 and/or to commissure attachment features 30. That is, the entire valve assembly 34 may be axially positioned between the proximal end 14 of stent 12 and commissure attachment features 30, such that none of the valve assembly is positioned between the commissure attachment features and the distal end 16 of the stent.
  • Valve assembly 34 includes a cuff 36 and a plurality of leaflets 38 which open and close collectively to function as a one-way valve. Both cuff 36 and leaflets 38 may be wholly or partly formed of any suitable biological material, such as bovine or porcine pericardium, or biocompatible polymers, such as PTFE, urethanes and the like.
  • Prosthetic heart valve 10 may be used to replace a native valve, a surgical heart valve or a heart valve that has undergone a surgical procedure.
  • Prosthetic heart valve 10 may be delivered to the desired site (e.g., near the native aortic annulus) using any suitable delivery device.
  • prosthetic heart valve 10 is disposed inside the delivery device in a collapsed condition.
  • the delivery device may be introduced into a patient using a transfemoral, transapical, transseptal or any other percutaneous approach.
  • the user may deploy prosthetic heart valve 10.
  • prosthetic heart valve 10 expands so that the annulus section 18 of stent 12 is in secure engagement within the native annulus.
  • FIG. 2 is a highly schematic cutaway view showing prosthetic heart valve 10 disposed within the native aortic annulus of a patient.
  • prosthetic heart valve 10 When prosthetic heart valve 10 is properly positioned within the native annulus, it works as a one-way valve, allowing blood to flow from the left ventricle of the heart to the aorta during systole, and preventing blood from flowing in the opposite direction.
  • Long term clinical success, and ultimately the life of prosthetic heart valve 10 is dependent, in part, on the ability of the free edges of leaflets 38 to properly coapt. Thrombus buildup in the neo-sinus NS of prosthetic heart valve 10 may restrict motion of leaflets 38 and prevent the leaflets from coapting.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a prosthetic heart valve 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Prosthetic heart valve 110 includes all of the features of prosthetic heart valve 10, except for commissure attachment features 30. Accordingly, each of the features of prosthetic heart valve 110 that correspond to features of prosthetic heart valve 10 are not described again hereinafter. Instead, when such features are referenced or illustrated in FIGS. 4-7, these features are described and illustrated using corresponding 100 series numerals.
  • Prosthetic heart valve 110 replaces commissure attachment features 30 with commissure attachment features 130, shown in Fig. 5.
  • Commissure attachment features 130 are designed to redistribute strain from the leaflets 138 of prosthetic heart valve 110 to the stent 112 of the prosthetic heart valve.
  • Commissure attachment features 130 are spaced apart from one another in an annular direction of stent 112 and disposed within a predetermined one of the annular rows of cells 126.
  • commissure attachment features 130 are disposed in one of the rows of cells within the annulus section 118 of stent 112, or in one of the rows of cells at the juncture of the annulus section and the transition section 122 of the stent. Since FIG.
  • prosthetic heart valve 110 for replacing a native tricuspid valve, such as the aortic valve
  • prosthetic heart valve 110 is illustrated with three leaflets 138, as well as three commissure attachment features 130.
  • prosthetic heart valves according to this aspect of the invention may have a greater or lesser number of leaflets 138 and/or commissure attachment features 130.
  • the prosthetic heart valve may include two commissure attachment features 130 for attaching each of the two prosthetic leaflets 138 to stent 112.
  • each one of the plurality of commissure attachment features 130 includes a body 140 that has a length in a longitudinal direction of stent 112, a width in a radial direction of the stent and a thickness (not shown) in an annular direction of the stent.
  • the width of body 140 may be about 3.0 mm or less, and is preferably between about 2.0 mm and about 2.5 mm.
  • Commissure attachment features 130 may be positioned above the bulk of leaflets 138. In light of this and that the commissure attachment features have a relatively small dimension in the medial direction of stent 112, the collapsibility of prosthetic heart valve 110 is not inhibited. Accordingly, prosthetic heart valve 110 can be collapsed into a competitive French delivery system, for example, an 18 French delivery device.
  • the body 140 of commissure attachment feature 130 has a side 142 that is attached to select struts 124 of stent 112, and a free edge 144 that is disposed in an interior region the stent. That is, the body 140 of commissure attachment feature 130 extends from select stmts 124 in a medial direction of stent 112 (i.e., toward the middle of the stent or radially inward). In other words, body 140 extends orthogonal to the annular direction of stent 112 toward the center of the stent.
  • the body 140 of commissure attachment feature 130 may be shaped as a quarter ellipse, or a quarter circle, such that the free edge 144 of the body forms an arc extending from a distal end of the attached side 142 of the body to a proximal end of the free edge spaced radially inward from stent 112.
  • the body 140 of commissure attachment feature 130 may include a plurality of apertures or eyelets for connecting valve assembly 134 to stent 112.
  • body 140 may include an eyelet 146 for coupling cuff 136 to stent 112, and one or more smaller eyelets 148 for suturing adjacent leaflets 138 to one another and to the commissure attachment feature.
  • At least one of leaflet attachment eyelets 148 may be spaced from the attached side 142 of commissure attachment feature 130 so as to be spaced from a luminal surface of stent 112.
  • FIG. 6 is a flow chart depicting a method 200 of manufacturing prosthetic heart valve 110.
  • a tube of nitinol is placed around a mandrel and cut, preferably by a laser or other technique, to form stent 112.
  • a fragmentary view of stent 112 after the tube has been cut and radially expanded is illustrated in FIG. 7.
